CNFE2MCPOE[/M]
10/100 MBPS 2 PORT MEDIA CONVERTER
WITH POWER OVER ETHERNET
The ComNet™ CNFE2MCPOE Ethernet 2 port media converter is designed to
transmit and receive 10/100 Mbps data over optical fiber through user selectable
SFP modules. These models require the ordering of sold-separately interchangeable
SFP modules for fiber type, distance and connectors.
The CNFE2MCPOE transmits and receives a single channel of Ethernet data. It also
supports IEEE 802.3at as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with up to 30 Watts
output, both Mode A or Mode B are supported. The electrical interface will Auto-
Negotiate to a 10 Mbps, or 100 Mbps Ethernet rate without any adjustments.
The optical interface operates at a 100 Mbps Ethernet rate. It is environmentally
hardened to operate in extreme conditions.
LED indicators are provided for confirming equipment operating status. See Figure
5on Page 4 for LED indicator descriptions.
See Figures 1 – 7 for complete installation details.
The CNFE2MCPOE operates as a standalone module. It can also be mounted in a
ComNet Rack, but PoE operation is not supported in this application. See Page 6 for
mounting instructions.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Th CNFE2MCPOE is supplied as a Rack Mount/Surface mount module. In the ComNet Rack, PoE operation is not supported. The CNFE2MCPOEM is
supplied as a Surface mount module. Units should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
